Due date moved back 1 week?

I went in for my 11 week appointment today and was told my baby only measured 10 weeks, so they moved my due date back 1 week. The thing is, my cycle is pretty regular and I am certain of the date we conceived.

I'm only 5'2", so I'm wondering if my baby is just 'small' like me? Or is my baby not growing well? I did have an ultrasound at 8.5 weeks and at that time baby was apparently measuring fine.

I went for. An ultrasound at 8 weeks due to bleeding. They told me I was 6.5 weeks. I knew I was right with my dates and with the next ultrasound I was measuring exactly where I thought I was suppose to be.

The second tech ask if I had the vaginal ultrasound. Which I did not. She said that's why it was off. They are not as accurate.

Don't worrie about a week off. Plan thing as if you are 11 weeks. Ultrasounds can be off

With my first They moved back my due date by a week because of an early ultrasound. I am very regular too, so I refused to believe the new date. However, that is the date my doctor used, so eventually I had to accept the new date and my daughter was a week overdue, so it felt like forever.

I'm worried this will happen to me too!
I did the first part of the IPS testing, and they said my blood work doesn't match my due dates, so I have to go for a dating U/S. Unfortunately it's taking 2 weeks to get an appt, so I'll be just over 13w by the time I get in. I'm worried they're going to move my date back a week!
I know the date of my last period (well, down to a 1.5 day span), but I don't know when I O'd or conceived.
Really hope they don't move me back, that's like making dinner, throwing it out and cleaning it up only to start all over again!

I went in for an early u/s at 7 weeks. The tech pushed my date a week too, but I'm clearly in a denial stage. I'm very regular, know when I ovulated and feel like she was wrong. I go for my 12 week appoinment in a couple weeks and I'll be 13.5 weeks then, so I'm waiting for this appointment to believe it hear what the truth is. I figure they will be able to get a better read then.

Okay, I talked to a friend of mine that's an OB resident. +/- 1 week she's not concerned and told me not to worry about it. Apparently the 6-8 week dating u/s is usually the most accurate, especially since it was transvaginal. I guess after that baby tends to grow at different rates with different spurts. Hope the pea keeps growing and stays on course. Phew!

With my DS I had several ultrasounds, and every time I went for one he measured a different size- the due dates they gave me ranged within almost a week...I picked a day said that was the day he would be born..and alas he listened and he was born. The way I look at it...we grow different and are all differnt sizes and have our growth spurts at different times so why wouldn't a fetus!

I went 10 days over the due date given to me from a dating ultrasound with DD so my due date this time i am not really thinking of as a due date, just a time when i will be going on mat leave and baby will be coming some time around then...ish....
